Siri dictation throws in extra words that I am not saying

When I dictate a text or other things, catcher Siri randomly throws in some form of the word catch whenever she wants to. It just happened above after the words other things achieve. I never said the word catcher. Catch the same thing is true of the word achieve a Chuchu in a sentence before last catchy. Catching. There it goes again so I will type the rest of this. You have to ignore “a Chuchu” to make sense of what Siri is typing in place of what I am dictating. Ever see anything like this before?

YES, it's happening to nearly EVERY voice dictation I do on text, email, imessage. If I don't proofread before sending, I can bet there will be a few "catch" phrases in the mix. I'm using the iPhone 11pro max with the latest iOS 13 updates if that makes a difference.

they're having ??? What I said was "there haven't been". I missed that in my proofreading. Anyway, it looks like the post was successful and I'm staying optimistic about the remote possibility that they may have fixed something.

Thanks for your kind words. I am very glad that I got a chance to start this thread, but I am the one who should be saying thank you to all of you who have posted replies here. You are the ones who kept the ball rolling after my awful mistake of accidentally marking the thread solved. It does look like there's some room for hope no, but I have learned my lesson. I'm the last one to suggest that this problem has gone away until we see apple sticking their neck out and saying it is fixed. (Instead of telling us all to fix the way that we are using our phones)

Thanks to all for your patience and persistence that kept things going in the right direction. I sure hope we are at, or at least very near, the finish line. I'm getting tired.

It has been about three weeks since I experienced "catch" problem. THANK YOU Good Bernie and all who helped bring this issue to Apple! So glad the problem is no longer arising and hope this issue will remain "fixed". Please all accept my gratitude. <3

Mine just adds words at random AND when I am in a text conversation it will completely eff up my text when i have incoming texts. Only in the last 6 months. The speech to text is already bad enough. This makes it worse. Thanks, Apple. Very frustrating and as usual I feel that Apple could not care less. Google and Amazon almost never screw up with speech. Apple... almost always.

Happens to me on wi-fi all the time :-(

This started happening to me too in the last couple of weeks. Never saw it before. Granted my iPhone 5S is older than dirt but it happens particularly when I use Facebook.

This is clearly an issue. Is Apple going to respond?

It happens to me when using wifi. All of this, along witht he many sundry other problems, started after the horrible ios update.

Why on earth is this issue listed as solved!? It’s driving me crazy – and it’s driving me even more crazy that it’s marked as solved! WTF apple!? Are you trolling us?
